One more by YGSF, and then I'll stop hijacking your thread, lol.

Ahh soo, didn't know that, lol. Well then they are all 70's love songs that came out prior to August of '76 ;?D

But since you like this kind of music, I think you'll appreciate these guys. Young Gun Silver Fox are a new duo of Shawn Lee & Andy Platts, and they have somehow managed to fucking NAIL DEAD ON that 70's pop rock sound. They actually sound like they're channeling Hall & Oates, Chicago, Steely...

Man I dig your taste in music, we must be close to the same age, provided you were a teen in the 70's ;?D But I'm a bit confused by your comment that this video is too old, as it came out in '76 and some of those other tunes are older. I'm still trying to figure out what they have in common...

Found this at Science Direct, but I'm not paying $31.50 for the paper (beyond my comprehension/pay grade, lol), maybe someone here has access though an institution :rolleyes: if they're interested. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213138816300522 Abstract The waste heat of...

Not necessarily related, but an interesting read I stumbled across.... http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/four-new-ways-to-chill-computer-chips

Here's a video os a simple project showing how these work, although at the end he does mention that it's a TEC instead of a TEG (interesting that it was removed from the heat sink of a water dispenser). But the principle of generating electricity from differing temperatures is obvious.

I found these TEG units on eBay, 40mm x 40mm, for $22 http://www.ebay.com/itm/THERMOELECTRIC-POWER-GENERATOR-TEG-MODULE-NEW-USA-/310148993913?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368 but can't figure out how much juice one of these might produce in a heat sink, and I suppose that's dependent on the heat...

So in my musings on the heat generation of COBs, it occurred to me that there should be a way to convert heat back into electricity (sans the need for high temp/pressure generators like steam turbines, moving parts etc). I imagined something like a solar panel but that used thermal energy...

Lights that aren't light, or "heavy lights", lol, sounds like an oxymoron, or to quote George Carlin, "Jumbo shrimp" ;?D So Ttystikk, maybe you've run across these in your research - TEGs or thermoelectric generators, designed to turn heat into electricity...

Cool, great to know the phosphor isn't delicate, that's one less worry, thanks for the info ;?)

Maybe I'm not entering the search terms correctly, but can't seem to find this info, sorry if it's a typical noob question ;?D Anyway, when I got my very first COB's in the mail, I immediately grabbed one and began fondling it lovingly... okay not exactly, lol, but I did touch the LES before...

BTW, I must have been high when I ordered these tubes, 1/4" wall is WAY THICK and pretty heavy, not to mention more expensive. So these tubes cost $62, while the 1/8" would run me only about $38, so with fittings and welding cost one of these would run roughly $92 (instead of the $116 I paid)...

Got the prototype water cooled heatsink back from the shop today, they charged me $50 to weld her up, not bad but the work wasn't up to their normal standards, imo (they were swamped and my guy was out sick, so they let the apprentice do the work, understandable I suppose, but still not too...

Cool, I'm going to have to look into this bio-char, it can be made according to some organic farmers.

Hey, no worries, I don't have the Big C, just trying to limit my risks as it's more of an issue when you start getting up there, lol. I think I'm becoming a borderline hypochondriac, lol, cuz once I passed 50 I started getting all these odd aches and pains, don't have the energy levels or drive...

Lol, perfect timing on that, I just got a new bong in the mail today, just a little guy by EHLE, but I love their stuff, real solid. ;?D

Thanks man, great advice, and yeah I figured I was over-reacting a bit, lol, but also as I age I try to be more careful about chemical exposure. Need to make it another 10-15 years and by then they should have figured cancer out and the cures as well ;?D. Meanwhile, still waiting on my parts...

So I can't claim that it produces higher yields than other systems, but I personally saw an increase over straight DTW. But if not done right I could see problems, and whether you get better yields has as much to do with a particular growers skill set, as I've seen huge yields under many...

So the shipping for Bio-Char that I found (only one company called Arbico) is kinda steep for a 40 lb. bag, but an organic forum talks about techs for making your own or some say you can use LUMP charcoal, but NOT the briquettes, and one guy added, "You can buy lump charcoal and use it. but...
